Around the world, Public Access Lagoons® developments in Europe are attracting attention for their disruptive innovation in bringing a slice of the ocean to cities. The new PAL® project in Seville has generated unprecedented interest in the international press, highlighting the revolution Crystal Lagoons will cause by bringing the tropical beach lifestyle to this Mediterranean city considered one of Spain’s most iconic and attractive destinations.
Media outlets such as Yahoo Finance, Europa Press, European Business Magazine, Il Giornale D´Italia y FinanzNachrichten highlight the new project, which will have as its central element a monumental crystalline lagoon suitable for swimming and water sports accessible to all through ticketed entry. It will also integrate residential units, a hotel, stores, restaurants, and other activities and commercial and entertainment infrastructure epitomizing the quintessential PAL® experience.
With this new development, Crystal Lagoons continues its expansion in Europe, where it is present in Spain, Italy, France, the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, and Hungary, with projects at different development and negotiation stages.
Among the complexes in Spain, two projects in Murcia and another on the Costa del Sol stand out.
The development in Seville is part of the projects that Crystal Lagoons has in partnership with the award-winning Romanian firm Forty Management in various European cities, including the recently inaugurated Lagoon Park Bucharest in Bucharest. This PAL® project revolutionized the city with resounding success, with tickets selling out more than a week in advance.
“Seville has one of the best climates in Europe, which will allow year-round enjoyment of this PAL® project, enhancing a tourist city par excellence, one of the most popular in Spain and Europe, receiving millions of visitors yearly. This development will change the lives of millions of Sevillians by setting a new standard of entertainment,” explains Jean Pierre Juanchich, Global Business Director of Crystal Lagoons.
PAL® projects have been recognized for their environmental contribution, as they would reduce the equivalent of 40% of the carbon footprint in the tourism and transportation sectors by bringing beach life with turquoise waters and white sands to locations close to home, thus avoiding long car or plane trips.
